AUSTRALIA'S SPORTS CANCELS by Keith W. Tucker

The following list of cancellations of Australia pertaining to sports was compiled in 19- 65. Therefore, it is not complete. Perhaps Mr. Tucker will fill it in in the coming issues. Moreover, the list has deliberately excluded the pictorial cancellations of the Melbourne Olympics as well as the Perth Empire Games. Third, Mr. Tucker has not included any scouting cancellations as he does not classify them as sports cancellations. Again, perhaps he will compile them for us nevertheless.

I am happy to announce that Ira Seebacher has taken over the job of editor of J.S.P. He will be assisted by Bill Brecht, our faithful and hard-working publisher. The Advertising Department will be taken over by Verlin Curtis of Cherry Hill, N.J. My thanks to all of them for their cooperation. The SPI Trophy was awarded at Beckpex to Chris Norgard for his exhibit "Soccer on Stamps." Our membership took a clean sweep of the sports section of topicals with Chris first, and Verlin Curtis and myself tied for second. Our youngest member, my daughter Nancy, took first place in the junior section. The trophy has been promised to three exhibitions this fall: Sescal in Los Angeles, Oct. 13-15? Lipex in Malverne, New York, Nov. 3-5, and Sepad in Philadelphia, Nov. 10-12. The board of directors has decided that the trophy cannot be won twice in the same year by the same person. So let's see some of our other members compete for it in the future. And finally I would like to extend my thanks to Bob Bruce for all his work as editor of JSP. His unselfish efforts on behalf of our organization may have gone unrewarded, but they were both noted and appreciated by all. The countless hours of hard work showed his devotion to SPI. So to Bob may I express the appreciation of all of the members for a job well done.

OLYMPIANA Helen Turner Greek Sculpture Used on Modern Stamps' Designs

During excavations in Athens in 1922, the base of a statue was found built into an ancient wall. One side is plain, probably placed against a wall, the other aide shows activities of Athenian youths in the last part of the VI Century B.C. This base is now in the Athens National Museum.

We are concerned with the front face of the base on which are carved four figures! on the left is a runner in starting position, on the right is a spear thrower with his right hand in the loop and testing the balance with his left hand. In the center are two wrestlers. One wrestler grasps his opponent's arm to throw him with a "flying mare". The opponenttries to keep from being turned for the throw by pushing against the other's shoulder*

These figures have attracted the attention of present day s tamp designers and we find them on stamps of three different countriess Greece, Seotts 381, showing the entire base and on Ivory Coast, Seotts 215, and Cameroun, Seotts C49, with the wrestlers only.

On the Greek stamp, which shows the approach to the stadium in Athens, you will find in the lower frame of the design on both the right and left side a* reproduction of the entire front of the base, the left side being shown in reverse for better balance of the design.

While we are Bpeaking of the stadium, the history is well-worth repeating. It was be­ gun about 330 B.C. and in 143 A»D. its stone tiers were covered with Pentellio marble through the generosity of Herodes Attioua. In the intervening centuries the stadium was used as a quarry. When the first Modern Olympic Games were proposed for Athens in 1896, Mr. Averof, a Greek living in Alexandria, Egypt, made possible the complete restoration of the stadium for the Games as it was at the time of Herodes Atticus.

The stamp was printed in Poland to pay for Greek tobacoo bought by the Poles on a barter basis, the quantity printed is not known.

To be continued- STAND AND.DELIVER!

Religiously with the impending appearance of each new issue, your editor receives a let* ter from Burundi offering new Burundi stamps mint, on cover, and in small or large quanti­ ties. So far, there is nothing extraordinary about such mail. Burundi is just one of many of today's philatelic peddlers. Enclosed with the latest of Burundi's announcements, we received a printed green offic­ ial green flyer depicting a new, long set of diamond-shaped scout stamps which will be is­ sued in observance of the World Scout Jamboree held recently in the U.S. Thi6 new set will consist of 10 etamps--five regular and five airmail. Duly listed on the flyer are date for each value, including the quantities £rintdd. There are, it is stated, 25,000 stamps (not many) of the high airmail value, meaning that no matter how many larger quqntities will be issued of the smaller values, there can be but 25,000 complete sets. In that these stamps are garishly bordered in silver (regular) and gold (air), and that they are collectible by sports, scout and airmail collectors, the issue by its broad appeal is quite likely to be cornered by dealer-speculators. It is, in fact, just the right size to attract this gentry But the catch is that the issue is really smaller than announced. Not the flyer, but an accompanying and inconsequential looking yellow flimsy is the gimmick. It is just the kind of thing ghat a busy editor might easily overlook while a potential buyer, studying all of the contents of the letter would spot it. This flimsy states the quantities issued are not after all, as announced, but 5,000 fewer due to the fact 5,000 sets were left imperforate. How convenient to have it printed on the official flyer one way, and announced as far less on the flimsy. This means one-fifth of the set was held back to create imperforate sets. You can bet some of the press will report the amounts printed incorrectly. This has the added effect of lulling some into thinking they have time to make their purchase in the be­ lief the set is 25% larger than it is. These 5,000 imperforate sets will be sold at face but only to those willing to buy four of the normal sets—a ratio of 4-to-l. Thus in sweetly innocent appearance, the stage has been set for a double killing. In the past, dealers faced with one of these tie-in deals, often at ratios of 10-to-l, were heard to grumble as they were loaded up with normal sets in order to obtain the limited imperf­ orate sets. The grumbling was a sham. They moved the imperf sets out at a priee to entire­ ly cover the entire lot and the normal sets then represented their profit on the deal. If all of the normal sets weren't moved, they remained in stock as potential profit in time.

But this time, there are no thorns--just roses. Obviously, the imperforate Burundi sets will be hawked at from four times faee and up on the excuse the dealer had to load up with normal sets. But the normal sets will be in just as great demand and these will easily be moved at two and three times faee, unless they are held for greater long-term markups. It's all lovely , nicht wahr? It proves we're in the wrong racket unless, of course, some of us are using a gun. It's quicker.

Sports & Olympic stamps issued. SPORT STAMPS S.P.I. P.O. Box 302 It S.C.O.S.C. Montebello, Calif. 90640 A.TA. THE CASES OF THE "DIRTY DOZEN" 9 Harold Wasserman Case 12: The Case of Left-Overs Generally speaking, except for the two cases involving Romanian and Russian issues, the "Dirty Dozen" cases have concerned specific stamps and issues, This last of the "Dirty Doz­ en" is just a little different. It involves three different countries with very little re­ lationship of the issues themselves. However, they represent an aspect of sports philately that is is common to the "Dirty Dozen": little is known of the circumstances under which they were issued; doubt surrounds the identification of legitimate stamps and counterfeits; quantities are unknown; covers are few and far between; mint copies are difficult to locate and value is difficult to determine. And yet we, as sports philatelists, should make an ef­ fort to ferret out the information about issues such as these if we going to have sports philately gain the status of other types of collecting. All three of the items under discussion involve overprints. First let's look at the ones of Germany that were overprinted fir local use in the City of Strausberg. The Scott number is given in parentheses, followed by the overprinting: (All have "Stadt Strausberg 1945 in addition to the change in value) (B244) 30 pf. Black overprint (B245) 25 pf. Black overprint (B284) 1 pf. Black overprint (B285) 42 pf. Black overprint (528) 60 pf. Black overprint in a gold square (B275) No adadditionad l value—Overprint in gold (B276) No adadditionad l value, but gold bar obliterating police figure—Overprint in gold

(B277) N(J additional value—Overprint in black. The above stamps I have. Do other items exist? Next, let's turn our attention to two items of Poland,, During the currency reform (1950) "Groszy" was overprinted on the stamps to indicate the change in currency. According to Seebacher "This overprint indicated the reyaluated stamps was applied upon request by any­ one at the time." Seebacher also states that the overprint exists in "many kinds of type and in many colors." I certainly agree. Below are listed the varieties I have. Again, the Scott number appears in parentheses: (419) Overprint in black—appears to be applied uniformly (423-25) Overprint in black—appears to be applied uniformly. Overprint in red, "groszy"—same size type as black overprint, but not with capital letter—overprint on angle, inverted, etc., as if applied in haphazard manner What other stamps and variations are in existence? Finally, let's examine some similar items of Romania. The main difference with these stamps is that they have Scott respectability. They are No.e. 845 and 847-48. But look at the note preceding these surcharges: "Prices of Nos. 817-72 are approximate valuations. Definite information on the exact value of these surcharged provisionals haa not been ob­ tained." To which all I can add is "Amen." I have absolutely no information of any type on these provisionals. But certainly the Scott pricing of 65« each is no indication of the scarcity of the items. So for our final case, we have three for one, and probably the most devious to decipher.

(Editor's note:) We have run this the last of Mr. Wasserman's articles but frankly we are somewhat at a loss as to what point is being made. In the case of the Strausberg locals, they are not listed in Scott's eimpjty because Scott long since discontinued listing locals— at least most. But that hardly gainsays tne need for their issuance or, for that matter, their legitmacy as what they were. Immediatelv after the war, various occupying forces 10

issued a number of orders concerning the use of then available postage. In order to com­ ply with thise various miltary ukases, overprinting had to be done, often hastily and with few controls. Since this overprinting satisfied the occupying commanders in each city and district, to the extent the stamps could be used as altered to carry mai 1, it was done. In the exigencies of war and military occupation, many such cases dot philately. There is nothing new or strange about it and, moreover, the Strausberg locals are duly listed in Michel's. There were 33 in all and the Sports Handbook details seven of these because the basic stamps were sports stamps before the overprinting. Next the Poland "Groszy" overprints, rgain, these were applied to comply with the postal edicts. Since there was much flexibility involved in the type of overprint and no controls, there are as many types of overprints as there were postmaster provisionals in our own country's history. What's odd about this] It too has happened countless times and in some cases, quite recently. Obviously, there are a great many of these that Polish specialized handbooks state are faked. In that there were so little controls, there are no more fakes on this overprint than, let's say, those provided provisionally in Israel after the British pulled out. The overprints were permissible but they weren't applied by any one postal au­ thority for all. Hence many variations. For a kindred example, just as wild, see note after Belgium 348C (Scott). Much the same remarks can be made for the government's overprint on the komanian stamps cited. Since this was done by the Government itself, what's the rhubarb? The Scott pricing? So Scott is out of line on hundreds of items. Fow could anyone catalogue be right in every instance? These stamps appeared as a large group and were so sold. It was necessary at the time they appeared to take all the overprints available. Which, therefore, were harder to obtain individually than others made no difference. You bought all—or none. Hence Scott did not know then or since the relative scarcity of the individual stamps so overprinted. But if the foreign catalogues are more or less in agreement with Scott as to price, then the conclusion must be that the pricing is reasoably correct. If the stamps are scarcer than their price reflects, it could be because there is o great demand for present stocks, most of which are in Europe. In conclusion, none of these stamps are, in a sense, "left-overs." Each example cited was the result of necessity. We do not deny that more information concerning the numbers issued and various other data wouldn't be helpful. At that, the "Groszy" overprints have been already treated in a special catalogue. The Strausberg overprints appear in Michel's, one of the world's most valued and respected catalogues. The Romanian overprints are universally listed. What's the problem? .

"Sojex 67" in Atlantic City was to be the scene of the debut of my collection of ice hockey stamps. My observation of prize winning collections at various shows had taught me that if two collectors had equal material, the one showing better presentation was usually the winner. I envied the hand-lettered and well designed pages but my several attempts at imitatiob resulted in miserable failure. "What iB it, Daddy?" is perhaps the best phrase available to describe adequately my first efforts in the graphic arts. How then could I ever hope to prepare a collection for exhib­ ition? A trip to the local art supply and stationery store provided many answers. A booklet on fundamentals advised: work in a large format and, if reduction is required, detail will be maintained. The use of space and other basics of composition were learned the same way. The piece de resistance was a booklet I obtained on the art of silk screen, a time-honored meth­ od for the duplication of graphic art. Inspiration overtook me. Would it be possible to de­ sign a page in large format, reduce it, and then silk screen the 75 pages I would need? Investigating further I discovered "transfer type" (rub-on letters), chart tape and other interesting aids for the fumbler. Investing in a few sheets of poster board, a sheet of letters and a roll of tape I bravely retreated to my den for the trial effort. Working in the large format did wonders for my primitive art work and my hockey player was recognizable by even my eight-year-old. The run-on letters were easy and the chart tape did wonders for making the borders. A protographic reproduction of 2:1 brought it down to 8*xll", the actual page size. Following directions in the silk screen booklet resulted in the stencil and one evening with ink and squeegee produced the pages. I had even discovered I could work with two colors so the pages were done in gold and blue. After the hours in the library for research, blue India ink was used to draw the frames for the stamps and a blue ribbon was located for my typewriter since I had long ago given up any hope of hand-lettering the write-ups. The effect was quite pleasing and the first set of judges (my wife, two young sons and a neighbor), gave it their nod of approval. The final result can be seen in my living room at any time--a Sojex 6ilver bowl. I even throw in a free look at my collection, even if I am not asked. My slide shows?--these I re­ serve for relatives. VERLIN CURTIS

SPECIALIZING IN FRANCE SINCE 1924 ( IMPERFS. VARIETIES. DELUXE MINIATURE SHEETS. ARTIST PROOFS AND MULTICOLOR ESSAYS ) 14 THE END OF'AN ERA John Murray

Since her soccer foundation in 1863, England had maintained, until 1953, an undefeated home record of Soccer Internationals. This was indeed a proud record, spanning as it did 90 years of soccer supremacy until that memorable day at Wembley Stadium—November 23, 1953. On that day, England met the new "Wonder Team" from Hungary boasting the sobriquet, "The Mighty Magyars." Captained by Ferene Puskas, a Hungarian army major, this "Wondfer T am", since its introduction to world soccer in 1952, had stunned the world with one victory after another commencing with winning the Olympic Gold Medal at Helsinki with a magnificent dis­ play of skill and tactics. To this day, the world iremembers that day that England, the "Soccer Master", received a lesson from Hungary, its pupil. Until then, England had fought hard and successfully to preserve its all-winning record on home heath and many were the tremendous tussles in preserving that record: against the famed Austrian National team in 1933, then classed as one of the world's top elevens, in which England squeaked by 4-3; in 1934, the infamous "Battle of Highbury" occurred when England turned back Italy, the 1934 world champions, 3-2, etc. In fact, recalling the Italian match, there then prevailed great politial and fanatical interest in the game which resulted in a Donnybrook, with heavy casualties on both sides and the pitch resembling a battlefield at times. The Italians, despite having only 10 men (Center half Monti had been carted off a casulaty), fought a Homeric battle to oust England but just failed to do so. Thus, England had its share of hair-raising near-misses in successfully remaning defeated at home, this before World War II as well as the immediate years thereafter. Then, in 1950 in Brazil, during the preliminary skirmishes of the 4th World Cup Champion­ ships, the first ominous sign appeared that there was a chink in the "Lion's" armor. England crashed to a shocking 1-0 defeat at the hands of the..U.S.A., a rank outsider with neither then, nor since, any real pretention to be playing soccer at World Cup levels. Was this, then, the turning point in England's long and) glorious soccer record, despite the fact she had suffered reverses while playing abroad on tours of the continent? To many observers of that game, it was quite obvious that England's system of play was lacking in method. Thus dawned November 23, 1953 when Bigland faced on her home ground at Wembley, the Hun­ garian soccer marvels everyone wanted to see in action and who were, that day, to write a glowing page in soccer's annals. The Hungarian goal was kept by Grosics, with a panther's reflexes. In front of him, Grosics had one of the most paralyzing defensive systems ever introduced to soccer. The two great fullbacks were Buzansky and Lorant who were, in turn, assisted by Bozik, a fine center half as well as by Monti, the iron man who had starred for

Italy in the '30s. The forward line boasted three super stars: Sandor K0csis, classed as one of the greatest headers of a football the game has known; Nador Hildegkuti, the deep-lying center forward and a great carrier of the ball, and the indomitable Iron Major whose game playing rank was team captain, he with the thunderbolt shot in his left foot. England, too, was well represented, in fact by some of the most shining and revered names of English soccer. There were Gilbert Merrick, a fine keeper, ably assisted by two fine full backs, Bill EckerBley and Alf Ramsey (but now Sir Alfred Ramsey, manager of the 1966 World Champions). Also two hard-working half backs, Billy Wright and Johnston. The forward wall consisted of five stalwarts on whom the hopes of England were riding: Stanley Matthews, the old wizard himself and one of the all-time greats of the game; Taylor, a fine inside man; Stan Mortenson, a powerhouse at center forward; Sewell, quicksilver up front, and finallyr a flying outside left in Robb. 15

The game kicked off and within two minutes Hungary was one up when, on receiving a throw- in, Hisgekuti rounded England's center half, Johnston, with a beautiful body swerve and the ball thundered into the net. Grimly, England fought back and knotted up the game with a fine goal by Sewell. In the following eight minutes, England was completely shattered by a fan­ tastic display of soccer. In quick succession, Hidgekuti, Puskas and Boslk each in turn rammed the ball into England's net and devasted England was left trailing, 4-1. Bitterly the Lion, its tail twisted, fought on, refusing to concede the inevitable. Mortenaon's fine goal reduced the lead to 4-2 but any hopes the fans had that England eould tie it up were blasted when Bozik followed, minutes later, with a goal, shortly duplicated by Hidgekuti whose boot sent the Hungarians into a 6-2 leaf. Then eaae a penalty to England and Ramsey sure-footed the third and final marker for England. And that's the way it stood when Dutch referee Leo Horn blew his whistle for full time. If all Britain was stunned, not all Europe was. Not at least the Hungarians. Their hard- won victory came on November 23rd. Ten days later they had overprinted the soccer value (2fo)of their 1953 with an inscription proclaiming their 6:3 win ct Wembley. Wearily the Lion had sunk to his haunches. The story has a sort of prologue. One May 23, 1954 England had its chance at revenge. The Hungarians were hosts to the English at Hungary's brand new Nepstadion. The Biglish had gone about repairing the ravages to their tattered eleven. There were no fewer than eight per­ sonnel changes. Despite these, a vastly superior Hungarian squad crushed England, 7-1. Un­ like the initial win, this time the Hungarians were more restrained in their philatelic en­ thusiasm. The occasion was merely marked by a special cancellation. The wrdter has a cover with this cancel, and which is autographed by both Puskas and Kocsis. A similar cover with Hungary's 6:3 victory stamp is also Bhown here, autographed by Hidgekuti, Puskas, Kocsis and England's Ramsey.
